THE CHRYSANTHEMUM 97 



Rayonnante with Brazier's Beauty, Miss E. Partridge or 



Madame E. Roger, and if procurable a few light

also large table decorations with the addition of a 



few sprays of Kathleen May. 

 Lord Brooke and Bronze Edith Pagram with just a suspicion 



of Altrincham Yellow. 

 Small sprays of Source d'Or and Lizzie Adcock with a few 



R. F. Felton or Freda Bedford to add richness to

 and then lightened with small sprays of a good

 point of view, as the majority of Chrysanthemum 

 tables one sees at shows. 



Exhibitors appear to be afraid of using anything

 uniform masses of rubbish, such as one would expect 

 to find in a back garden. Now, although the first 

 table to which I alluded in my list of contrasts was

 and dozens of sprays of smaller ones, all cunningly
